Patriotic Lollies

Wow! It has been over six months since my last post! It certainly isn't because I haven't made anything - I will try to be better at this.

Recently I made these fun patriotic lollies

as a centerpiece for a themed dinner.

There are three different sizes. They are 12, 8 or 6 inches across. I used an old Dollar Tree paper pack that I had in my stash. The stickers are K&Co and they were on clearance at AC Moore. I used Martha's score board to score each one at 1/2 inch increments. I used a hot glue to adhere everything, it is a really strong hold!

My brother and his family have a big party each year for the 4th of July, so I am going to bring these to the party! You can see in the mirror that each one is two sided. I used a different paper on the front and the back.

I found the container for $3.99 at Ross. I cut up a styrofoam block and filled the container. I added the kraft crinkle cut shred after I had put all the lollies in the styrofoam.

About Me

Hello! I've been scrapbooking for about seven years and I just love it. I love to play with paper! My primary interest is scrapbooking, but that can take so many forms.... I am always looking for new ideas. I love to see what other people are working on. I am happy to share my toys (i.e. tools). I play well with others, but watch out - I have been known to run with scissors.
